Methods 1

For the determination of vascular functions (FMD and PWV) participants were required 3
to fast at least 5 hours prior to the measurements. Comparisons using area-under the curve 4
were conducted using Prism 5.0 (GraphPad) calculating the total peak area of FMD for each 5
timepoint assessed (before, during and after HD) for the acute and acute-on chronic study, 6
respectively. 7
Brachial blood pressure (BP) was measured in duplicate in the non-fistula arm by cuff 8
and mercury sphygmomanometer after the participant had rested in a seated position for 10 9
min and the average of the 2 measurements was recorded. 10
After the participants had rested for 10 minutes we determined arterial stiffness by 11
PWV. PWV was calculated from sequential recordings of electrocardiogram referenced 12
carotid and femoral pressure waveforms obtained by using tonometry with the SphygmoCor 13
device and transducer (AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia). Wave transit-time was determined 14
using the distance between carotid and femoral sites estimated from the distance between 15
each artery location, the sternal notch and the R-wave of a simultaneously recorded 16
electrocardiogram as reference frame (1). 17
Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was determined using high-resolution ultrasound 18
(Vivid i ultrasound, GE Healthcare, Munich Germany). IMT was measured 1 cm distal the 19
carotid bifurcation using end-diastolic (minimum dimension) images of the far wall of the 20
distal common carotid artery. 21
Blood was drawn for clinical routine and the Institute of Clinical Chemistry and 22
Laboratory Diagnostics, University Hospital Duesseldorf performed all analyses unless noted 23
otherwise. (-)-Epicatechin and its related metabolites in plasama and dialysate fluid were 24
determined by HPLC-FLD/UV and electrochemical detection using authentic standards 25
provided by Mars Symbioscience, as described (2). Plasma nitrite and nitrate were 26
3
determinded by HPLC technique (Eicom, Eno-20), as described (3,4). The advanced 1
glycation end product Carboxymethyl Lysine (CML, microcoat, Bernried, Germany), markers 2
of inflammation hs-Interleukin 6 (IL-6, eBioscience, Vienna, Austria) and oxidative Stress 3
oxidized LDL, OxLDL, Mercodia, Uppsala, Sweden) were measured by ELISAs following 4
the manufacturers protocol, respectively. 5
